Factors which culminated into establishment of the organization:-
Factor 1:
It is a known fact that before the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Islamic World was facing innumerable challenges and its general scenario was extremely deplorable. World arrogant and oppressive powers were fully exploiting the Muslim Ummah. The identity of Islam and Muslims had been distorted and defaced with organized conspiracy. Their design to divide the Islamic World into fragments was obvious to the intelligentsia. It was observed that the enemies of Islam hatched their manifold evil conspiracies largely on the following strategies:

I. That Muslim clerics were brain washed to believe that religion has nothing to do with politics and political system and they had succeeded to a large extend to keep the clergy away from state's affairs, legislation and administrative matters. They were confined to mosques and interpretation of theology. Consequently the concept of Islamic politics faded away from the minds of Muslims and the field was left open for the devil forces to reign over affairs of the Islamic World.

II. The different schools of thoughts among Muslims were instigated to highlight the differences and sowed seed of hatred among them. This conspiracy succeeded a lot and the Muslim Ummah forgot its common enemy and wasted its might and strength in mutual conflicts.

In such a suffocating atmosphere, the Almighty Allah bestowed the Ummah with a dynamic leader in the glowing personality of (Ruhullah Mosavi Khumeni) who is now recognized as a Mujaddid (super reformer) of the twentieth century in the Islamic World.
This pious man with his firm belief in Allah and following the Prophet (p.b.h.u.) and Vice-regent Imams(AS) and by his spiritual might gave a wakeup call to the Muslims in deep slumber and jolted the castles of despotic forces. He delivered the message of Imam Hussain (AS) in such a way that the contemporary Yazids saw their death approaching them. He not only liberated the Muslims from the clutches of tyranny but also inspired the oppressed of the world to rise against the oppressors and throw out the age-old chains of slavery and oppression from Islam and Muslim Ummah. He inspired the Muslims of Iran and led them to the right direction. He, apart from achieving the set goals of Islamic Revolution, established a firm Islamic Democratic Government thereby restored the lost glory of Islam with dignity.

The people of Kargil were fan and admirer of Imam Khomeini even before the Islamic Revolution. It was therefore, naturally, during the period of struggle for Islamic Revolution in Iran, they had been sharing the moments of sufferings and joys with the revolutionary and vigilant people of Iran, who, following their leader (Imam) were sacrificing their lives and belongings. It was this love and affection that after the success of the Islamic Revolution and establishment of powerful Islamic government, apart from Iranian organizations like "Union Of Iranian Students Islamic Association" individuals like Ayatullah Gulsurkhi and Ayatullah Salehi and Iranian Ambassador to India Syed Hassan Asadi Lari visited Kargil.

Factor 2: On the 4th June 1989 AD Imam Khomaini (RA) departed this mortal world, which was not only a great tragedy for the Iranians but also for the entire Islamic World. When the news reached Kargil all markets and establishments were spontaneously down. Every nook and corner of Kargil mourned the demise. Public institution, Imambargahs and Mosques wore black banners. Mourning processions of Imam started to gather in the Town of Kargil from far and near. Feeling the mass emotions, the youth of Kargil in order to have a well-coordinated arrangements of the processions, constituted an adhoc committee. Majalis-e- Tarhim, azadari and recital of Holy Quran was observed continuously for 40 days and nights within a huge pendal erected in the heart of Kargil Town. These mega gatherings proved to be a milestone in the history of Kargil. Beside common man large number of Ulema participated in it. The ulema and scholars explained in detail the Personality of Imam Khomieni and threw light on various aspects of the struggle for Islamic Revolution during these days.

People form every walks of life participated in these gatherings. Some were joining out of curiosity and some, suffering from confusion and doubts, created in their mind by the western anti Islamic propaganda of the Media. Due to their participation in the gatherings they obtained factual knowledge regarding Imam Khomieni (RA) and the Islamic Revolution. Their confusion and doubts were removed from interactions. These gathering left an everlasting impression on the masses of Kargil.

Acknowledge the sincere feelings of the people of Kargil, the Ambassador of Islamic Republic of Iran in India Aqai Ibrahim Rahimpur made it point to personally attend the (Marasim-e-chelum) of the Imam at the end of the 40 days majlis-e-tarheem. This gesture on the part of the Iranian brethren not only encouraged the people of Kargil, particularly the youth of Kargil, but it also strengthened the relationship with the Islamic Revolution. This relationships being founded on deep faith and iman remained firm in the years to come and consequently special delegations of Islamic Republic of Iran make it a point to visit Kargil and participated in the anniversary commemoration of Imam Khomeini on 4th June each year

Factor 3:

At the end of the historic 40 day long gatherings the general public particularly the youth strongly felt that the organizing committee should take an initiative for keeping the precious principles and values set by the late Imam Khomieni alive and particularly his last will emphasizing the unity of Muslim Umah and helping the cause of oppressed and down trodden people of the world.

Accordingly the said committee called a meeting of Muslim youth of the District at a place called Titichumik in the vicinity of Kargil Town where in about five hundred youth gathered and discussed at length the ways to institutionalize the footsteps set by late Imam Khomieni. At the end of the meeting it was unanimously decided to establish an organization at Distt H/Q Kargil under the name and style of Imam Khomieni Memorial Trust Kargil.
